One vessel, every compliance signal in one place: sanctions exposure path, composite risk, dark-fleet behaviour, flag history and safety record.
No sanctions exposure was found, but the composite risk read is elevated. See the breakdown below.
Sanctions exposure screens the hull and its ownership chain against official OFAC, EU, UN and UK designations, then propagates a sanctioned owner or parent down to the vessels it controls. The composite risk read blends age, flag register, port-state detentions, dark-fleet behaviour and sanctions exposure, weighted by how much evidence is present. Every signal shows its own evidence. This is decision support for a compliance review, not a legal determination.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
Compliance
On 19 October 2024, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH" reported having struck a mooring dolphin while berthing in Bath, ON. Once the vessel was secured, the crew lowered a punt and assessed the damages.
On 30 April 2022, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH", while berthing under the conduct of a pilot, reported striking a dock at section 52 of the Port of Quebec in Québec, QC. The vessel and the dock sustained minor damage.
On 16 February 2022, the tug "OCEAN A. GAUTHIER" reported having collided with the unloading boom of the berthed bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH" in Goderich, ON. Damage to the tug was reported.
On 22 September 2021, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH", reported having made bottom contact in in the Welland Canal, ON. The vessel docked in Thorold, ON, to assess damage and carry out repairs.
On 28 August 2021, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH" reported making bottom contact due to bank suction in the South Shore Canal, near Kahnawake, QC.
On 02 April 2021, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH" reported being disabled off Burlington, ON due to the overheating of its propeller shaft bearing. The vessel was brought alongside Hamilton, ON under tow.
On 14 April 2020, the upbound bulk carrier "JOHANNA G" collided port-to-port with the moored downbound bulk carriers "FEDERAL CHURCHILL" and "JOHN D. LEITCH" whilst exiting the Welland Canal's Lock No.7 in Thorold, ON. The vessel dropped both anchors and sustained damage to some of its fairleads.
On 04 October 2018, the bulk carrier "JOHN D. LEITCH" reported a problem with the main engine while transiting the Beauharnois locks off Beauharnois, QC. The vessel continued upbound. On 06 October 2018, the vessel was secured at the Welland Canal north wall for repairs.
